Probably drawn in New Jersey

Galesburg Butterfly

...detained at my frat-bro Jay's
farm outside of Galesburg, IL...

Aztec design????

-don't recall what this
was copied from...

afghani

School Cross Walk

We saw this charming plywood sign
somewhere in Oregon, mounted
on a automobile tire whatchamacallit.

Rist Canyon butterfly

Rist Canyon is west of Fort Collins...
my buddy Dan and his wife rented an
alpine cabin there in the '70s.

Boulder butterfly...or is it a moth?

Common Alpine Butterfly

Chinese acrobats #3

Yep, they're amazing!

Chinese acrobats #2

I don't recall whether Dwayne
executed the paintings or
what became of them.

Chinese acrobats #1

Dwayne was intrigued by a book
about Chinese acrobats and I recollect
that he planned a series of paintings
based on the photos.

another redwood

This one gives a sense
of scale--- see the
clothes-pin-type person?

Redwood base

"Awesome" is the word
to use upon encountering
these soaring trees, the
oldest living things on earth.

Sleeping cat

-this cat was either
Dan's or Dwayne's-
or maybe its
own cat

chimney

This chimney-top reminded
me of a conquistador helment.

Dan

Another high school buddy, Dan,
lived in Fort Collins at the time.
Here he is, also drawn with
those magical markers.

Dwayne

My old buddy Dwayne at the time
we traveled from Colorado to the coast...
up through the Northwest and eventually
to New Mexico, camping out or freeloading.
This was drawn with some cool markers
which changed color when drawn over with
a special marker.

Lincoln, New Mexico vista

This sketch spanned 3 pages and
when I pieced it together in GIMP,
the joints don't look that great I must
admit...but I still like the vista,
sketched from a hilltop.

Deschutes River, Oregon

This sketch ran across two
sketchbook pages, like a
centerfold.

nakey tree

somewhere in Oregon
we chanced upon
a nakey tree
by the sea

Oregon beach

This would be somewhere along
the southern half of the Oregon
coast, because halfway up Dwayne
and I left the coastal highway.
